"During the game between Belarus-Canada on friday, a group of Swedes and Belarusians successfully watched the hockey with big white-red-white traditional Belarusian flags, behind one of the goals in the front line. This is a clear victory for freedom of expression and human rights. The flag was earlier during hockey world championship banned by the IIHF, most likely because of a dictators demand."

May 7, 2013 "The founder of Info Belarus, Isabel Sommerfeld, calls the Hockey Federations decision a ”political discrimination”, since no other flags, as for example the Soviet flag usually used by Russian fans, has been prohibited in the same way, and the organizer of the Hockey World Championship didn’t even react to these flags."

APPEAL:
May 5, 2013: "Appeal to the International sports federations from the Association for modernization and Civil campaign “Our House”
Dear friends,
The referendum with the list of violations, when the national white-red-white flag was switched to the red-green one, happened in 1995 in Belarus. Despite of this fact the national symbols are continuing to be in use by the huge part of the Belarusian society. Belarusian sportsmen regard respectively towards the archaic Belarusian symbols. The using of the white-red-white flag during the sports events is a patriotic action for thousands of Belarusian people. Belarusian fans who are using both of the flag types support the same sportsmen.
We are appealing to you with the demand to provide the possibility of free using the white-red-white flags during the sports events. We hope, that the incidents such one which took place in Sweden on the 3rd of May, 2013 will never again recur (when the white-red-white flags were captured by the event security officially because of their ‘political symbolizing’).
Yours respectfully,
Ales Mikhalevich, the Head of the Association for modernization
Olga Karatch, the Head of the Civil campaign “Our House”"
